Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last six games overall, but they wil be looking to build some momentum after taking down the shorthanded 76ers in a 119-107 win on Tuesday. Stephen Curry led the team with 37 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, Jonathan Kuminga added 26 points on 11 of 19 shooting while Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 23 points on eight of 10 shooting. As a team, the Warriors shot 55 percent from the field and 14 of 32 from the 3-point line as they held the 76ers to just 22 points in the second quarter to take the narrow lead into halftime, before they poured in 67 points in the second half to earn the much-needed blowout win at home. The Warriors will play against the Hawks after this one.

Warriors vs Grizzlies Prediction
The Warriors are still shorthanded with Chris Paul and Dario Saric still out, but they should have Draymond Green in the lineup, while the Grizzlies are still missing a host of players including Ja Morant, Desmond BAne and Derrick Rose. The Warriors have struggled to build momentum all season, but they looked great in their win over hte 76ers on Tuesday and now they’re up against a severely shorthanded Grizzlies team, so I’m backing the Warriors to stay hot with another win and cover on the road.
